The location not being close to any market is the only down side to this property. The van shuttle makes it easier to get to the BTS and MRT but it does take time because the area has bad traffic. Allow for at least 45 minutes to travel to more central parts of the city and avoid peak traffic hours (6am to 11am and 4pm to 8pm). On the positive side there are more towels, sheets, plates, bowls, and cutlery compared to most other places I have stayed in Bangkok. The TV is large, the internet is fast appliances, and the washing machine makes doing laundry very easy on extended stays.
